Applications to register will require to be supported by some form of identification which includes your name and date of Birth. eg, Driving Licence, Passport, Birth Certificate.

On-Line Services With The Practice

Our practice has recently developed an innovative method for patients to contact us via the Internet. This enables our patients to book/cancel appointments and order Repeat Prescriptions. This provides 24 hour access to our Administration System.

Increasing use of this facility is aimed to reduce the number of telephone calls received at our practice and releases our committed Reception Staff to provide service to the needs of our patients.

If you wish to register to use our On-Line Services, click on the link below to open the form and complete your details. This can then be printed, emailed or handed in to the Practice.

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

INTERPRETATING SERVICES

Our practice recognise the need for clear dialogue between our staff and patients and we are happy to arrange the services of an interpretator if required.

If you require interpretation services please contact us in advance of your appointment and we will arrange this.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages.

Temporary Registration

If you suffer illness whilst away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from our practice. If this continues after 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact our Reception Staff. Whilst we will endeavour to assist such Temporary Residents and we recognise our obligation to offer emergency treatment, we cannot guarantee acceptance to our Practice.

Note: You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
